Would we be looking at Shaqiri if Stoke hadn’t been relegated and his clause hadn’t kicked in?

Would we be in for Grealish if Billa had gone up and not been up for sale?

Or are we bargain hunting?

Don’t believe we’ll sign either of them thankfully. No point in signing a sixth choice AM when the fourth and fifth struggle for game time.
Also remember that we're an agent favourite for baseless press speculation when they want their client to get a transfer elsewhere (in these cases, anywhere but the Championship).
 
World Cup starts next weekend. Talk was of getting deals done before the players are off to Russia.

Other clubs have completed deals already.
And by the sounds of it our targets aren't at the World Cup.

When other clubs do their business doesn't matter. Especially when it's like Woolwich's business.
 
Yeah, why is that? That seems undeniably true.
It's because we're big enough that it sounds like hype, but not so big that it's unbelievable, because we're a London club and a lot of players angling for a move to the Prem would rather live in London, and because we have big money rivals that have history for trying to gazump us on transfer fees and wages.

I'd conservatively estimate that 3/4 of the transfer news and rumors surrounding Spurs is bullshit from agents.

Were there any quotes saying we would get deals done before players are off to Russia?

Also, as many have pointed out, our targets aren't even going to the World Cup.
